Chapter 267

The clouds of war shrouded the entire Southern Zhong.

Meng Huo's 120, 00-strong army marched toward Wei County in a grand manner, looking very fierce!

The entire Southern Zhong was paying attention to this green-hat war!

It can be said that this battle was not only a battle of honor but would also determine the ownership of Southern Zhong.

If Meng Huo won, he could truly be the Barbarian King of Southern Zhong and expand his sphere of influence to Yuexi Commandery and other places.

If Liu Bei won, he would basically control the Southern Zhong region and be able to use Southern Zhong as a base to turn his guns and occupy the Bashu region!

Meng Huo had already led his troops across Dianchi County and was only a day or more away from Wei County.

"Report! "

A scout came to report,

"Great King, Liu Bei has been drinking and having fun in Zhu Rong's stronghold recently, and has also built many strange-looking things, saying that by worshipping the gods, he can defeat us!"

Meng Huo was naturally furious; after drinking, what Liu Bei would do, one could think of with their toes!

"I want to chop Liu Bei into eight pieces!"

Yong Kai, however, smiled.

"Arrogant soldiers will be defeated; Liu Bei doesn't take us seriously, we can settle it in one battle!"

The Southern Barbarian Bana Cave Master King King Mulu cupped his hands,

"This time I brought three hundred war elephants, followed by tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves, as well as twenty thousand war soldiers; we must make Liu Bei and that kid Dai Lai never return!"

Meng Huo smiled.

"Thank you, brother, for your help. If we win this time, how about I let you manage the Wei County area?"

King King Mulu was waiting for this sentence.

"Thank you, Barbarian King!"

Other Cave Masters also requested to fight one after another, swearing to kill Liu Bei!

Meng Huo nodded; frustrated in love, successful in the battlefield, he wanted to wash away his shame!

Zangke Commandery, ten miles outside Qielan City,

The atmosphere in Liu Zhang's camp was not very good.

"You tell me, how could I lose troops and generals against a small Zhu Bao and still not be able to take it down!"

Liu Zhang was very unhappy!

Wang Lei cupped his hands.

"Lord, Zhu Bao is treacherous, defending the city, and our army's siege equipment is insufficient."

Deng Han Xian arched his hands.

"Lord, once our army builds the siege equipment, we will definitely be able to break the city!"

Liu Zhang looked at the intelligence in his hand and snorted.

"Brother Liu Xuande is truly blessed; he actually snatched Meng Huo's fiancée, Cave Master Zhu Rong! Rumor has it that this Zhu Rong is the number one beauty of Southern Zhong!"

He had been attacking unsuccessfully recently, and seeing Liu Bei not only winning battle after battle but also taking Zhu Rong, it was impossible not to be envious and jealous.

Wang Lei smiled.

"Lord, Liu Bei angered Meng Huo; this time Meng Huo has 120, 00 troops, and Liu Bei, plus Zhu Rong, has less than 50, 00. He is in danger."

Liu Zhang's mentality changed a bit, and he didn't scold Wang Lei, waving his hand.

"Brother Liu Xuande is helping me pacify the rebellion, so I naturally hope he wins."

"Alright, rest early, continue to attack the city tomorrow!"

As a result, that night, Zhu Bao led people to raid the camp at night.

Liu Zhang was caught off guard and suffered a crushing defeat, retreating all the way to the Bijie area before stopping.

After counting, he found that there were only 20, 00 left of the 50, 00-strong army. Liu Zhang was tearful and had to lead his troops back to Shu Commandery.

This battle directly exposed Liu Zhang's incompetence to the people of Yizhou.

Liu Zhang now hoped that Liu Bei would definitely not win!

Wei County,

Liu Bei said to the small Cave Masters,

"Everyone, thank you for your help. Meng Huo is an incompetent child; our army is enough to wipe him out. You can just help from afar."

Those Cave Masters were naturally overjoyed; not having to fight was naturally the best!

Cave Master Dai Lai said worriedly,

"Brother-in-law, Meng Huo has 120, 00 troops. Should we defend the city and the stronghold, wait for his attack to go poorly, and then settle it in one battle when he is negligent?"

Liu Bei nodded.

"Dai Lai still has strategies, but Meng Huo's troops are not elite. I have the confidence to settle it in one battle."

Although Cave Master Dai Lai was a bit doubtful, Liu Bei's reputation was there, so he chose to believe him.

Liu Bei added,

"Dai Lai, do me a favor and write a letter to King King Mulu."

Dai Lai?

"Brother-in-law, what is there to contact that kind of person for?"

Liu Bei explained with a smile.

Cave Master Dai Lai's eyes lit up.

"Brother-in-law is indeed full of wisdom!"

Zhu Rong rolled her eyes on the side.

"Tricks, that's how I was trapped!"

She immediately smiled again; it was very satisfying to see others being trapped.

Meng Huo's army camp,

"Everyone, Liu Bei has sent me a battle letter, arranging a decisive battle with me in the river valley tomorrow!"

Meng Huo held the battle letter and was very furious.

"Liu Bei despises us so much; he only has 40, 00 troops, yet he dares to leave the city for a decisive battle with my 120, 00-strong army!"

Yong Kai remembered the previous crushing defeat.

"Great King, beware of Liu Bei's tricks; last time he used the sunlight... making my archers unable to see at all..."

After listening to Yong Kai's account, everyone felt tight in their hearts; Liu Bei was too treacherous, everyone had to be careful!

King King Mulu snorted.

"Everyone don't panic, as long as I send out jackals, tigers, and leopards, Liu Bei's cavalry's warhorses will definitely be in chaos!"

Everyone was happy; this King King Mulu was quite useful.

Yong Kai still frowned.

"Liu Bei's army's bows and crossbows are very powerful; the crossbow arrows can fire three times in a row. Gao Ding's cavalry died under these bows and crossbows!"

Everyone looked at each other; then the vanguard would definitely be miserable!

King King Mulu smiled again.

"Everyone, I have thousands of wild oxen; if we drive them with all our might to charge Liu Bei's army, it will definitely make his formation a mess! Then we can take advantage of the chaos to kill them!"

Everyone felt that this King King Mulu was too useful.

Meng Huo also specifically praised King King Mulu.

Everyone returned to their tents.

Soon, a scout secretly reported to Meng Huo,

"Great King, Cave Master Dai Lai's messenger sent a letter to King King Mulu."

Meng Huo was shocked, and his younger brother Meng You whispered from the side,

"Second brother, King Mulu and Dai Lai are close friends; these two wouldn't..."

These words hit Meng Huo's heart.

"Let's go, let's go see."

Walking to King King Mulu's camp, King Mulu was looking at the bamboo slips in his hand. Seeing Meng Huo arrive, he smiled.

"That kid Dai Lai actually wrote me a letter."

Meng Huo smiled without warmth.

"You two have a really good relationship; with a great battle tomorrow, you're still exchanging letters today."

King Mulu's heart skipped a beat; this Meng Huo was suspicious of him.

He hurriedly took the letter for everyone to see.

"Great King, see for yourself, it's all trivial matters."

Meng Huo looked and saw that the bamboo slips were smeared with ink, vaguely seeing things like "becoming the Barbarian King," "you and I are brothers," and so on...

Meng Huo laughed loudly.

"Brother King Mulu, this Cave Master Dai Lai really has a good relationship with you."

Everyone had doubts in their hearts.

King King Mulu was instantly saddened; he had come to help sincerely, only to be misunderstood!

At noon the next day,

Both sides lined up in the river valley.

Meng Huo let Meng You lead 5, 00 troops to guard the camp and mobilized all 115, 00 troops!

Liu Bei's side had his own elite of over 12, 00, 15, 00 newly trained troops, and Zhu Rong and Cave Master Dai Lai's 15, 00 troops.
